Integrated Business Processes with ERP Systems is an exciting new text that covers the key business processes supported by modern ERP systems. This book, along with the accompanying dynamic WileyPLUS online learning environment, is designed to serve as both a reference guide and a conceptual resource for students taking ERP-focused courses. It examines the core concepts applicable to all ERP environments in depth, and it explains how those concepts are executed in the world's leading ERP system, SAP® ERP.
Integrated Process Approach
Magal & Word approach ERP topics using an integrated process perspective of the firm. Each business process is discussed within the context of its execution across functional areas in the company, with special emphasis on the role of data in managing the coordination between activities and groups. Students will gain a deep appreciation for the role of enterprise systems in efficiently managing business processes from multiple functional perspectives.
Active Learning
Consistent with the focus on the process perspective of business operations, this book and the accompanying online supplements are designed to actively engage students through multiple learning activities. Students will be required to apply the concepts covered in the text both to real-world situations and to the running case study used in their hands-on exercises. In this way, students can literally experience what each employee in a process must do, what data they need, and how their actions impact other people in the company.
Running Case Study
Many key examples, demonstrations, and assignments incorporated throughout the book are based on a fictional company, Global Bike Incorporated (GBI). GBI exists virtually in the GBI ERP system, which is used to provide students with hands-on experience with executing the various processes in SAP® ERP. Students will become intimately familiar with GBI's operations and will develop a deep appreciation for the real-world importance of the process concepts in the course.
Real-world Examples
In addition to the integrated approach and the GBI case study, Integrated Business Processes with ERP Systems includes multiple scenarios from diverse industries that demonstrate how businesses actually utilize ERP capabilities. Real-world experiences associated with enterprise systems both positive and negative are integrated throughout the chapters to illustrate the key concepts.
WileyPLUS resources include the complete book online, recorded demonstrations of each key process activity, and interactive hands-on assignments using the SAP® ERP system.
